256: Why "Unsexy" Elections Matter and How to Get Involved as a Busy Mom // Laney Hawes

Author: Cloud10 October 10, 2022 Duration: 34:37
I want to thank you for seeing an episode title that mentioned elections and thinking, "Yeah, I want to listen to this. I can give thirty minutes of my busy week to learning more about this." Sometimes easier to put your head down and focus on the to-do list in front of you than it is to learn about politics. Although it might not seem as immediately applicable to your motherhood as an episode on how to manage a tantrum or a rebellious teenager, the political atmosphere and policies in our communities and schools does matter tremendously in our lives and the lives of our children, so thank you for listening in. Today’s guest is Laney Hawes. I have been blessed by her effusive love for people and her passionate opinions on the world. I love learning from her, and I am so honored to share her with all of you via 3 in 30.  For full show notes, including the three takeaways, go to https://3in30podcast.com/256-laney-hawes Announcement: I will be teaching a class at Pinner's Conference in Utah which is happening on Friday, November 4th and Saturday, November 5th, and I would love for you to come!
